Well, embrace the awesome power of “And”.

They never wanted to allow him to run, much less win. Maybe Dewey really did defeat Truman? Goldwater was completely smeared in the runup to the ‘64 election. The Democrats ran commercials, the “Daisy” advertisement, implying that Goldwater would start a nuclear war.

I was told if I voted for Goldwater, that we'd have riots in the streets and get stuck in a long, un-winnable war, well I did vote for Goldwater, and darn if they weren't right.

There was also an ad saying that the KKK “endorsed” Goldwater. It “never aired” except it was shown in academia and even included in a Man Men episode so it was put in the public consciousness for over 50 years.

“Daisy” only “aired” once. Except it’s aired hundreds of times again in “historical context” for 55 years.
